With the two kid's, they were deeper in the swamp looking around, "Whoa...this place is creepy", the boy nodded.
"We can get in big trouble".
"I know".
Seconds of silence and walking, "Pound, do you think I'm pretty", she asked.
He blushed and nodded, "I do....you're the prettiest girl in Equstria".
She smiled blushing, then hugged his arm, "Well I think you're cutest boy in Equestria.....and I'm having fun on our date", she leaned on him as he became excited.
Then they heard a growl causing them to stop walking, they started looking around, then the same Hydra as before popped out of nowhere.
They stared up at it scared as it stared back like it's staring at food, then Flurry glared, "Go away, before my date kicks your butt again".
The creature didn't move, suddenly it charged at them causing the kid's to run and fly away from it as fast as they can.
With Shining walking and looking around in the Everfree Forest, he has two more pieces to find, "Come on, it's gotta be around here somewhere", minutes of looking he couldn't find it.
He sighed, "Where could it be?......hmmm a place where two rulers once owned".
Then he purked up snapping his fingers, "Princess Celestia and Luna's old Castle", then he quickly started heading there.
But on his way there, hungry Timber Wolve's came out of nowhere, he glared, "Like hell you wolves are gonna stop me from getting the best birthday gift from my sexy wife".
They charged at him as the unicorn man started blasting them with his magic, seconds later they were nothing more then piles of twigs.
"That takes care of that", then he continued towards the old Castle.
When he got there, "Crap, bridge is destroyed", then he started thinking of a way to get across.
After awhile, he looked looked down and noticed how deep the pit is, "Hope I make it", then he jumped across before teleporting in mid air.
He made it causing him to sigh, "Now for the next clue", he walked towards the large broken double doors.
Back with Pound and Flurry Heart, they were still flying away from the Hydra, it caught up a little bit and dodged a bite attempt.
They started flying in another direction making the monster give chase again, "I-I'm sorry for asking you come here with me", the Princess told him scared.
Almost an hour later they were deep in the swamp and they were getting tired and started running now as the Hydra was still giving chase.
They saw a small cave barley big enough for them to squeeze through and started flying towards it, the creature was catching up and they felt like they might die.
The creature lowered it's heads and opened it's mouths ready to take a bite out of the two kid's, the little girl was falling behind.
"Run faster", the boy grabbed her hand.
They made it in the small cave as the Hydra's middle head barely grabbed ahold of the little alicorns blouse.
She became scared getting pulled back, the boy glared death, "Let her go", he ran up to it and started punching it's large eyeball.
Then grabbed Flurry's hand and pulled her at it reared it's head back, her shirt ripped off her but they was too busy trying to escape to notice.
They ran deeper in the cave as the creature was trying to force it's way in, but do it being so large it caused a cave in and it's head to be stuck as it struggled, then it was able to free itself.
Minutes later, the kid's stopped running out of breath, they noticed it was dark and they couldn't see a thing, Flurry Hearts horn started glowing like a night light.
He turned to her, "That's bet-", he stopped quickly looking away from her blushing.
"What's wrong?", he heard her say confused.
"Y-Your shirt is gone", he then heard her panic, he took a small glance seeing her covering her chest.
"Don't look at me", he quickly looked away again apologizing.
"P-Pound....can I borrow your shirt", he nodded taking his shirt off, then held it out to her, he felt her take it.
"Thank you", he can hear her put it on, he looked and saw her back facing him as she was pulling it down, it was a little lose but still fitted her.
She turned back to him, "Come on, let's try to find a different way out", the little girl nodded knowing if they try to go back the other way, the Hydra will be waiting for them.
Then they started walking deeper in the cave, the boy looked at her glowing horn, "Where'd you learn that?"
"My mommy and daddy, it's for when I have to use the restroom at night", he nodded.
Then she thought of something, "Um....what are we gonna do if we don't find a way out, or if we get hungry..or thirsty...o-or have to use the restroom?"
The boy stopped looking down, "Don't know", he turned to her, "But if anything happens, I'll protect you", he grabbed her hand.
She blushed smiling, then hugged his arm, "You really are brave".
He stopped confusing her, "Flurry Heart....I-I lied....I never fought that creature, I wanted to show my sister that a Hydra was real and it almost cost our lives".
The little girl frowned, "So you lied to me?"
He nodded, "I wanted you to think I'm brave and cool, and to like me".
"But you are brave, you punched that mean'o Hydra in the eye, I never seen any boy do that before", that caused him to perk up.
"R-Really?"
She nodded, "Not only that, you saved me", she hugged him, "And I like to go on another date with you".
The boy became excited, "A-Another date....s-so we have a chance of becoming boyfriend and girlfriend?"
She giggled letting him go, "Maybe....come on let's go", then they continued walking.
Back with the Shining, he was looking everywhere in the old Castle, "It can be anywhere in this big place", he continued to look.
He walked in Princess Celestia's old bed chamber and found a note on a old dresser, "Yes", he rushed over picking it up reading it.
It read,
You're almost done my love, just one more clue to find, now for the final clue, it is in a place where we have so much fun together and seen me naked or in my underwear or in sexy outfits so many times.
Good luck my dear husband.
He grinned, "I ain't that stupid, heh...it's our bedroom", then he put the paper away and headed out.
Hour's later in Ponyville, it was getting dark and the Cake's, Twilight and her friends couldn't find Pound and Flurry Heart anywhere, Cadence found out and she is looking too along with Royal Guards.
They were worried and hoping they're ok somewhere, "Flurry Heart...Pound...where are you's", the lavender alicorn called out.
But she got no answer, she decided to check elsewhere, "Where could they be", she said to herself worried about her niece.
With a couple of guards checking the swamp, suddenly a Hydra came running at them from the tree's, "What in Equestria", they were able to dodge it's bit.
They were able to defend themselves, but a unicorn guard noticed something the middle head had stuck in it's teeth, "It has something, looks like a childs shirt".
"Kill it", then they attacked the creature.
Minutes later stabbing and blasting the Hydra with magic, it fell dead on it's side thanks to them knowing how to without causing it to regenerate it's heads.
They walked up to the middle head, then became shocked that it was a ripped shirt belonging to a little girl, "Did this creature eat a child?"
They shrugged, "We should let Princess Twilight know, incase it might be Princess Flurry Heart", the rest nodded before they left back to town.
When they got there, Twilight and Cadence walked up to them asking, "Did you find them?"
"No your highnesses, but we found something else", a Pegasus guard showed them the blouse.
That shocked her, "T-That's the shirt Flurry had on this morning", the love Princess took it.
"Where did you find it?", the lavender alicorn asked.
"At Foggy Bottom Bog, in a Hydra's mouth", that scared them.
"No..no no no no", Cadence felt like crying thinking the worse.
Her sister took the shirt examining it, "There's no blood stain, so there's no way she and Pound were eaten...they must still be alive somewhere in the swamp".
"Show us where", the guards saluted before leading them to Foggy Bottom Bog.
